A true legend and personal hero, died at age 47 on May 4, 2012 due to cancer of the parotid salivary gland. My deepest condolences to Adam Yauch’s Family and friends that are left behind.
Craig Kelly and Adam Yauch Photographer: Unknown, what is known is that these two are legends R.I.P.
Here is the video for “Looking Down the Barrel of a gun”. This was my first introduction to snowboarding, literally. The Beastie Boys had packed up from New York after the immense success of ”Licensed to Ill” and made their way to Southern California to work on “Paul’s Boutique”. With that change of scenery came a change of lifestyle where they were introduced to the young and emerging action sports scene, well before being dubbed action sports…clearly, these “Sports” used to be a lifestyle. MCA was an avid snowboarder and used to live in Utah with Tina Basich. His effect on my life is embedded into my preference for music and his sensitivity to issues ranging from the mistreatment of women to the flight of the Tibetan people have been noted and greatly appreciated. Thank you kind soul.
This is old footy but I just came across it today for the first time. This is the heaviest Avalanche footage I have seen to date. It allows a unique perspective normally afforded only to the avalanche victim…Heavy stuff here.
I have a lot of respect for Andrew Reynolds. He’s been in the game forever and has faced significant challenges that would have crushed most spirits. Check out “This is Andrew”.
Finished up the last leg of a long road trip today. By the end, my brain had melted away and I began seeing all blurred, something similar to this photograph.
This is by far the craziest avalanche footage I have seen…their power is unbelievable. Andreas Wiig showed me this and I thought I would pass it along. The slide begins around 0:53.
